To examine the procedures of the reprocessing, the vitrification and the geologic disposal, precise burn-up calculation for high burn-up and MOX fuels has been performed for not only PWR but also BWR by using SWAT and SWAT2 codes which are the integrated burn-up calculation code systems combined with the burn-up calculation code, ORIGEN2, and the transport calculation code, SRAC (the collision probability method) or MVP (the continuous energy Monte Carlo method), respectively. The calculation results shows that all of the evaluated items (heat generation and concentrations of Mo and Pt) largely increase and those significantly effect to the current procedures of the vitrification and the geologic disposal. The calculation result by SWAT2 confirms that the bundle calculation is required for BWR to be discussed about those effects in details, especially for the MOX fuel.

In order to develop a fuel design system of BWR based on opened calculation codes, a burnup code system SWAT2 using continuous energy Mote Carlo code was revised to include a function of branch calculation. A tool to evaluate lattice constants used in calculation code adopting modern nodal method was also developed and validated by comparison with CASMO.
